H!P predictions for 2009!

To the best of my knowledge, China doesn't currently have a girl group that defines the nation (like MM used to be the defining group of Japan), and if properly executed, MM could have a lot of success there. UFA has questionable business tactics at times, but I think they're smart enough to realize they can't devote time promoting MM in three+ nations at a time.



Plus, 8th gen is incredibly underutilized as is. I'm hoping they'll figure out how to use the 8th gen before adding a 9th.



Plus plus, there is a HUGE market for girl groups in Korea right now with the way the k-pop scene is rolling, so I'm not entirely sure many Korean girls would want to run off and join a foreign pop group on the decline when there's ample opportunity in their home country.[/quote]



Yeah but the Korean auditions are already decided. That's what I said in my post above. Makoto announced it during the concert. Those auditions are not for Morning Musume though so most girls who'll audition will probably do it just for the tv time the girls of Ice Creamusume and those that didn't make it in got.
